Obviously we can't remove or change the names of currently
registered projects. That isn't an option.
But the result is that code.dlang.org will be full of projects
like "betterxml" or "xml2" or "xml2018", because each developer
abandons some work, and now it looks like a complete mess.
Imagine if github was this way, you couldn't name your project
after any other persons project name! I don't see why we
shouldn't be able to disambiguate between people's projects
somehow, even specifying a dependency.

well we have colons for subpackages, so we couldn't use those but
maybe add / which adds an extra level of complexity and would
require at least a dmd + ldc release including that dub version
before pushing it to the website. Other than that I actually like
that idea:
dependency "webfreak/fswatch" version="*"
dependency "webfreak/d2dgame" version="*"
dependency "webfreak/eventsystem" version="*"
